    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    Sounds like a bit of lip service to somewhat quell Trump's threats against Nato.

    The coming $26 billion windfall for the Canadian Armed Forces. What to buy?

    The CEO of Germany's TKMS was on the CBC a couple weeks ago and was pretty dismissive of the South Korean proposal, coming off as arrogant. Said they didn't need to publicize their bid like Hanwha was, because "we're the serious guys — we're Germans".

    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    Liberals are on the upswing but five weeks is a very long time in politics so anything can happen. A wildcard in these races could be the spike in gas prices due to the Iran war and could quickly turn into a central issue considering Carney's support for the US-Israeli strikes, in particular in...

    President Donald Trump's United States of America

    Trump continues his attacks on the U.K. after their initial reluctance to allow use of their military bases to support the strikes on Iran.

    President Donald Trump's United States of America

    I suspect his primary motivation is to plunder their resources to benefit his family and friends.

    President Donald Trump's United States of America

    Holding foreign leaders accountable to U.S. law always seemed insane to me. It'd be one thing if they were trying them in the Hague or a U.N. court...

    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    In theory, yes. High housing costs and crumbling health care should've sunk the Ford conservatives by now and they've skated free, so who knows what the electorate will care about come voting time.

    Alto - High Speed Rail (Toronto-Quebec City)

    There was some speculation on here regarding future Alto pricing. The project's CEO shed some light on their intentions in a recent interview with CBC Radio Canada: https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2229871/construction-troncon-quebec-montreal-tgv-alto

    The coming $26 billion windfall for the Canadian Armed Forces. What to buy?

    The idea of splitting the submarine order has been shut down. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-submarine-contract-fuhr-9.7115986

    Alto - High Speed Rail (Toronto-Quebec City)

    That would be the sensible option but this is the Ford government we're dealing with here. A renovation isn't exciting enough for the developer lobby.

    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    The press gallery has been going pretty hard at Carney the last couple days in Australia. They seem to smell blood with his statements on the Iran war, and appear to have a chip on their shoulder after he avoided talking to media for several days on this international trip. His media strategy...

    Alto - High Speed Rail (Toronto-Quebec City)

    It's looking like the next covid convoy-like movement in Canada will arise from opposition to this HSR project. Outlets like Rebel News are already pushing heavy coverage of the local groups opposing the project. Will be interesting to see if the Federal conservatives fully support them in...

    President Donald Trump's United States of America

    Based on Trump's interview with ABC, sounds like the U.S. is willing to work with members of the regime but Israel is determined to take away that option. Tough to tell how much of Trump's incoherent ramblings are real or spin.
